The promotion deals with North
America’s newest travel adventure,

Vancouver Island through the in-

The new ferry, M.V. “Queen of
Prince Rupert,” sails on her over-

The minister pointed out that
a major portion of the province
will be directly affected by the
expected rush of tourist interest
generated by this promotion. He
noted that, with the ocean cruise
along B.C.’s storied coast as the
hew attraction, visitors will be
drawn to motor on a circle tour to
or from Prince Rupert, over
Highway 16 to Prince George and
down Highway 97 te Vancouver,
branching of enroute to the Okan-
agan, Trans-Canada Highway, and
the Kootenay areas.

In a letter to Mr. Kiernan from
Sunset’s publishing offices in
Menlo Park, California, the presi-

armchair banking”

Banking by mail saves time, travel and park-

bank. It’s one of many ways your local
branch helps make modern banking so
simple, so convenient. From your own arm-
chair, you command nearly the full range
of bank services. You can send deposits,
make withdrawals, transfer funds... or
handle almost any other banking busi-
ness, including some types of loans. Special
mailing forms are available. There are no
extra bank charges. At home or away, you
can count on prompt, personal attention to
all your banking needs.

Through 5,650 branches, all across Canada,
the chartered banks bring Jull-range banking
within the reach of everyone.

Mr. Kiernan noted that more
than 100,000 supplementary cop-
ies of the Pacific Inside Passage
section are being reproduced for
distribution to travel agents, trans-
portation sales representatives,
and the interested public through-
out western United States ensur-
